In August, Prince Andrew released a statement commenting on Mr Epstein's crimes.

"At no stage during the limited time, I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction."

At the time, Ms Roberts' lawyer, Brad Edwards criticised Prince Andrew's statement, stating that he had extended an invitation to the royal to answer "real questions".

“With respect to Prince Andrew or anyone else who has made a gratuitous statement, if anyone who wants to come over here and talk to us and answer real questions that the victims have and that we have on their behalf we welcome that," the lawyer said.
